Since we are having our first significant snowfall of the season here in the northeastern US today, how about a beach scene from Kauai?

Late Autumn, Late Afternoon
The rays of the setting sun backlit these leaves and set them aglow.
The Great Pumpkin Smash
In what has become a popular post-Halloween tradition here in Newton, hundreds of citizens converged on the grounds of City Hall last Saturday for our annual communal pumpkin massacre. Many forms of ritual gourdicide were on display, including (but not limited to)
The Spiky Board
The Catapult

Nana
My son-in-law’s grandmother, known in the family as “Nana,” turned 100 this week. During World War 2, when the Hingham shipyard was desperate for workers, she dared a group of her friends to join her in applying for jobs there. They were all hired, trained as welders, and spent the next three years helping to build more than 200 ships for the North Atlantic fleet. On the occasion of her 100th birthday, ceremonies were held in her honor in a waterfront park, at the site of the former shipyard.
Morning Glory
I found this stray climbing the retaining wall outside my house.
